Last month, country music star Blake Shelton announced that he would release his long-anticipated 12th studio album, Body Language, on May 21st. Fans can now pre-order the record here and instantly download No. 1 smash “Happy Anywhere” (with Gwen Stefani), current single “Minimum Wage”, and brand new ballad “Bible Verses”!
About “Bible Verses” Shelton shares, “No matter where you are in your faith, there are times you feel like you just don’t measure up. ‘Bible Verses’ is an honest take on that conflict but, without preaching too much, it’s hopeful that everything will all work out in the end.”

“Bible Verses” Lyrics
I ain’t ever worn a halo
Don’t suppose I ever will
As far as saving me goes
It’s a battle up a hill
But I keep climbin’, tryin’, fightin’
Got a King James in the dresser
And I take it out sometimes
But Lord knows, I ain’t measured
Up to what’s inside
And they say that that’s okay
But I keep praying for the day
That I can open up that good book
And Heaven don’t look
Like it’s out of reach
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me
I woke up in last night’s clothes
And it’s whiskey on my lips
If God’s looking down, I know
He’s really looking down on this
But I have faith that I can change
I keep praying for the day
That I can open up that good book
And Heaven don’t look
Like it’s out of reach
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me
I’m just tryin’ to give myself a little grace
‘Til those words and me get on the same page
And I can open up that good book
And Heaven don’t look
Like it’s out of reach
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me
